**Objective of PAS 1** - This Standard prescribes the basis for presentation of general-purpose financial statements to ensure comparability both with the entity\'s financial statements of previous periods and with the financial statements of other entities. - It sets out overall requirements for the presentation of financial statements, guidelines for their structure and minimum requirements for their content. **Scope** - An entity shall apply PAS 1 in preparing and presenting general purpose financial statements in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRSs). **Financial Statements** - are the means by which information accumulated and processed in financial accounting is communicated to the users; structured financial representation of the financial position and financial performance of an entity **"General purpose" financial statements** - are statements that have been prepared for use by those who are not in a position to require an entity to prepare reports tailored to their particular needs. **Objectives** - The objective of general-purpose financial statements is to provide information about the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of an entity that is useful to a wide range of users in making economic decisions. To meet that objective, financial statements provide information about an entity\'s: - Assets - Liabilities - Equity - Income and expenses, including gains and losses - Other changes in equity - Cash flows **Complete set of Financial Statements** - An entity shall present with **[EQUAL PROMINENCE]** all of the financial statements. A complete set of financial statements comprises of: 1. a statement of financial position as at the end of the period 2. a statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period 3. a statement of changes in equity for the period 4. a statement of cash flows for the period 5. notes, comprising significant accounting policies and other explanatory information - comparative information in respect of the preceding period 6. a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period when an entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively or makes a retrospective restatement of items in its financial statements, or when it reclassifies items in its financial statements - **General Features of Financial Statements** 1. [Fair Representation and Compliance with IFRSs] - The financial statements must \"present fairly\" the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of an entity. - PAS 1 requires that an entity whose financial statements comply with PFRSs make an explicit and unreserved statement of such compliance in the notes. Inappropriate accounting policies are not rectified either by disclosure of the accounting policies used or by notes or explanatory material. - The application of PFRSs, with additional disclosure, when necessary, is presumed to result in financial statements that achieve a fair presentation. - PAS 1 acknowledges that, in extremely rare circumstances, management may conclude that compliance with an PFRS requirement would be so misleading that it would conflict with the objective of financial statements set out in the Framework. In such a case, the entity is required to depart from the PFRS requirement, with detailed disclosure of the nature, reasons, and impact of the departure. 2. [Going Concern] - An entity preparing PFRS financial statements is presumed to be a going concern. - If management has significant concerns about the entity\'s ability to continue as a going concern, the uncertainties must be disclosed. - If management concludes that the entity is not a going concern, the financial statements should not be prepared on a going concern basis, in which case PAS 1 requires a series of disclosures. 3. [Accrual Basis of Accounting] - PAS 1 requires that an entity prepare its financial statements, except for cash flow information, using the accrual basis of accounting. 4. [Consistency of Presentation] - The presentation and classification of items in the financial statements shall be retained from one period to the next unless a change is justified either by a change in circumstances or a requirement of a new PFRS. 5. [Materiality and Aggregation] - Each material class of similar items must be presented separately in the financial statements. - Dissimilar items may be aggregated only if they are individually immaterial. 6. [Offsetting] - Assets and liabilities, and income and expenses, may not be offset unless required or permitted by a Standard or an Interpretation. 7. [Comparative Information] - PAS 1 requires that comparative information shall be disclosed in respect of the previous period for all amounts reported in the financial statements, both face of financial statements and notes, unless another Standard requires otherwise. If comparative amounts are changed or reclassified, various disclosures are required. 8. [Frequency of Reporting] - There is a presumption that financial statements will be prepared at least annually. If the annual reporting period changes and financial statements are prepared for a different period, the enterprise must disclose the reason for the change and a warning about problems of comparability. - **Structure and Content: Identification of the financial statements** - An entity shall clearly identify the financial statements and distinguish them from other information in the same published document. - An entity shall display the following information prominently: - the name of the reporting entity or other means of identification, and any change in that information from the end of the preceding reporting period - whether the financial statements are of an individual entity or at group of entities - the date of the end of the reporting period or the period covered by the set of financial statements or notes - the presentation currency, as defined in IAS 21 - the level of rounding used in presenting amounts in the financial statements - **Statement of Financial Position** - Formal statement showing the three elements comprising financial position, namely assets, liabilities, and equity. - An entity shall present current and non-current assets, and current and non-current liabilities, as separate classifications in its statement of financial position. - When that exception applies, an entity shall present all assets and liabilities in order of liquidity. - Whichever method of presentation is adopted, an entity shall disclose the amount expected to be recovered or settled after more than twelve months for each asset and liability line item that combines amounts expected to be recovered or settled: - no more than twelve months after the reporting period, and - more than twelve months after the reporting period - An entity shall classify an asset as **[CURRENT]** when: - it expects to realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating cycle - it holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading - it expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting period, or - the asset is cash or a cash equivalent (as defined in IAS 7) unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period - An entity shall classify all other assets as **[NON-CURRENT]**. - An entity shall classify a liability as current when: - it expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle - it holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading - the liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or - it does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period - If an entity expects, and has the discretion, to refinance or roll over an obligation for at least twelve months after the reporting period under an existing loan facility, it classifies the obligation as non-current, even if it would otherwise be due within a shorter period. - When refinancing or rolling over the obligation is not at the discretion of the entity (for example, there is no arrangement for refinancing), the entity does not consider the potential to refinance the obligation and classifies the obligation as current. - When an entity breaches a provision of a long-term loan arrangement on or before the end of the reporting period with the effect that the liability becomes payable on demand, it classifies the liability as current, even if the lender agreed, after the reporting period and before the authorization of the financial statements for issue, not to demand payment as a consequence of the breach. - However, an entity classifies the liability as non-current if the lender agreed by the end of the reporting period to provide a period of grace ending at least twelve months after the reporting period, within which the entity can rectify the breach and during which the lender cannot demand immediate repayment.
